The Best College for Adult Learners in Every City

Not all college kids are, well, kids. In fact, 16% of all undergraduate students are over the age of 25, so if you’re thinking about going to college (or going back) a bit later in life, you’re certainly not alone.

So, if you’re more mature in years than the typical college student, what college might be best for you? More than likely it will be one that’s near where you already live, as you may have a job, children, own a home, or other have roots planted. It would also be nice if you knew there were other similarly-aged students on campus.

To help you in your search, we’ve picked out the best school in each city that’s especially good for adult learners. At these colleges, at least 10% of the student population is over 25 years old, and the school has an overall Niche grade of at least a B-.
